Back to School Birthday Card

I saw this card on J.J. Bolton's blog and had to copy it.  Mine isn't exactly like hers, but close enough that I must give her all the creativity credit.  I used CTMH cs, CTMH "Family Ties" stamp set, and a new CTMH Cricut Artiste collection stamp and coordinating Cricut shape for the banner.  Please check out J.J. Bolton's blog for lots of great artwork.

Family Ties Valentines

For these simple classroom Valentines, I stamped images from the "Family Ties - Children" stamp set on white cardstock, colored them with markers, cut them out, and attached them to a 3"x3" piece of Desert Sand cardstock.  Then I stamped the February stamp from the "Today's Date" stamp set in black ink, in most cases overlapping from the Desert Sand cardstock on to the white.  I used Tulip ink to stamp the hearts and tiny star (to mark the 14) from the "You're a Star" stamp set.  Just add a "to & from" on the back and maybe attach a piece of candy, and you're set.  TFL!

Family Ties - Golf

I made this card for a friend's dad's June 3 birthday using the Today's Date and Family Ties-Adult stamp sets. The original figure with the golf bag (in shorts and a cap) seemed a little young, so I masked it off and used the figure with pants and polo instead. I really like using the Today's Date set to put a person's birthday on their card.
